(TERRE HAUTE) - A 4-year-old boy died after an accident in Terre Haute involving a pickup truck driven by his mother.

Keegan Williams suffered severe blunt-force trauma to the head on Wednesday. A witness told police that the boy's mother, 36-year-old Anissa Williams was backing her truck into a parking lot when the boy tried to jump onto the back of the truck and fell.

Williams told deputies that she didn't see her son get behind the truck while she was in reverse.

No arrests were made and no citations were issued. A visitation service for the little boy is this afternoon.
